If you had a medical emergency
AM
I’d give you CPR
F#m
Not just because I’m legally obligated to
GM
But because you’re a shining star
bm
I wouldn’t walk 500 miles
AM
I would definitely drive
F#m GM
Just to see your lovely face the second I arrive
C
DM AM
I wanna be your seatbelt, baby
EM GM
Wrapped around you tightly
DM AM
I wanna be your seatbelt, baby
EM GM
Keepin’ you safe, daily and nightly
V2
The sight of you
Is cuter than 1000 pandas sneezing
I’d run for hours just to see you
Even if I started wheezing.
And not even the universe,
In all its absurdity
Could try to stop me
From writing you this little ditty because…
CHORUS
V3
You’re smarter than Albert Camus
And cuter than him, too
Even Nietszche would believe in God
After seeing you
Your beauty outshines a star
You make my heart go faster than a car
Your eloquence and charm
Could most definitely stop a war
BRIDGE
This is where I’d sing about
How wonderful you are
But there aren’t words wonderful
Enough to describe you, so I’ll just sit here quietly for a couple seconds
And think about how cool you are
CHROUS x2
So click it or ticket!

Am CM GM DM
V1
One way he took a walk
Awound the world to find
A rare endangered beaver’s
Big Buck teeth
V2
His gun was sharp His knives were cocked
His ears were wide, his eyes were locked
Deadliness was bleeding from
His teeth
CHORUS
Masculinity, femininity, to infinity and beyond
To the moon, the sky, a balloon to the stars
He widdled the trees and he took them apart
And now there are just dozens of his hearts
Richard Island Card
Dozens of his hearts
Richard Island Card
V3
He came unto a great big tree
His axe was sharp, fell to his knees
And now he lost the urge to hunt
Big teeth
CHORUS
Masculinity, femininity, to infinity and beyond
To the moon, the sky, a balloon to the stars
He widdled the trees and he took them apart
And now there are just dozens of his hearts
Richard Island Card
Dozens of his hearts
Richard Island Card
Bridge
AM
And Richard, the hunter
The weight of his axe,
b#m
The thick heavy grain,
The sweat down his back
c#m
His breathing was hard
He set down his pack
DM
The heave and the ho
EM
Now he’s a lumberjack
CHORUS
Masculinity, femininity, to infinity and beyond
To the moon, the sky, a balloon to the stars
He widdled the trees and he took them apart
And now there are just dozens of his hearts
Richard Island Card
Dozens of his hearts

V1 (em am x4)
In the hills of Scandinavia
the elders oft told
a story filled of wisdom
both new and old
it was the tale of Norman
A “Frog of all trades”
he worked as a doorman
at the Hotel Everglades
V2
Now Norman had a law degree,
but since he was a frog,
they felt his years of study
were worthless as a log.
So he wandered through the town
Lookin’ for a job
Poor Norman was alone
And he still could not find God
C (CM am em)
Until eating corn on the cob
Until eating corn on the cob
V3
He walked into a diner
took a seat inside a booth
his waitress was a whiner
She had a chipped tooth
He asked her for fly pie
She said we’re out of that
He asked her for some fly fries
She said we’re out of that
C
But we’ve got corn on the cob
But we’ve got corn on the cob
V4
When his corn arrived
Poor Norman was a mess
he thought that he had thrived in his
Not-so-righteousness
He flexed his froggy fingers
He licked his froggy lips
To taste the taste that lingers
All the way down his hips
Because he tasted corn on the cob
He tasted corn on the cob
B (am CM GM CM GM)
He smiled and God called his name
“Norman Furman the fourth
Efsquire the Frog
You are the light of the world
You aren’t alone and I love you”
Please enjoy corn on the cob
Jesus corn on the cob

Rocky and he were very low paid

turtle and a leech
V2
AM
Rocky was a big, bold, plaid, old lumberjack
CM
And Hector wrote poetry
DM
It was hard for them to pay the fees
dm
Of living on Rockaway Beach
V3
AM
There were no trees for Rocky’s timber
CM
Hector had no arms for his poetry
DM
How hard it must be to see an armless leech,
Dm EM
Or a treeless beach Woah, woah, woah
C
Am dm CM em
This is a tale of a sea turtle and a leech
This is the saga of how hard it is to be a sea turtle and a leech
Bridge (A C F G for most, then A B C D at end)
They were visited by a magician
With the help of his mother, a statistician
They planted some trees for rocky to cut
And made Hector some arms to write his poems
And all for Hector and Rocky was swell
Except Rocky forgot the permit to sell
His trees and he got in a legal battle
He suspected the statistician might have been tattlin’
Eventually he won his case
decided to keep all of the trees in their place
And let all God’s good children come and to be
To gaze upon his magical trees
Hector used his brand new arm
To write a poem about the farm
Of trees that Rocky grew and grew
And Hector’s fame jumped and flew
C
Am dm CM em
This is a tale of a sea turtle and a leech
This is the saga of how hard it is to be a sea turtle and a leech

Written Plan

V1 (DM bm F#M GM)
The problem is the camp director’s really really mean
He says he’s done and seen it all after the year fifteen
Like campers he has counseled in a Russian submarine
I bet all of those campers would agree
V2
The camp director working here has ownership to show
The problem’s his to solve it all I don’t think that he knows
I heard him when he asked us all to quickly touch our nose
He didn’t know I wrote a plan and this is how it goes
C (DM AM FM EM)
I’ll work at camp for fifteen years
Ask for a plan that’s drenched in tears
And when they ask “why you so mean?”
I’ll smile and laugh, hand them a clean
V3
I bet to solve this problem he could stop being so mean
By letting children dive or eating all of the ice cream
Could run across the camp unless we tripped and fell and died
I guess that one makes sense so I will keep my converse tied
[CHORUS]
B (D7 am…FM EM)
Con 1, I don’t want to do it
Con 2, the other guy would let me
Con 3, You can’t make me!
You’re not my dad x2
I miss my dad…..(thoughtful pause)
V4
Alright, I’ve done some thinking and I think you’re cool, I guess
Your rules make some sense and I was being childish
I’ll own it like a man and write a written plan for me
I will not point my finger so accusatorily
[CHORUS]
Outro
Written plan, Written plan, Written plan, Written plan,
Written plan, Written plan, Written plan, Written plan, Written plan
